What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world? At age 4, I had an out of body experience, OBE. From that moment forward, I understood that I was more than just a physical body and that my consciousness could travel and survive outside my corporeal shell. After many subsequent childhood mystical interactions and astral projections, my awareness and vision naturally extended into the spirit world. These were not hallucinations, dreams or childhood fantasies, rather reliable and reproducible interactions beyond the veil. It was often confusing and fear provoking since spirits commonly do not communication coherently. Instead, they may only project emotions, images and fragmented information.

It was an honor to interviewed for CanvasRebel Magazine. Here's the published discussion.
Alright, Christie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Over the course of your career, have you ever experienced a complete flip-flop? Traditional Western Medicine was my dharmic and career path for over 30 years. When I was a tiny child, I knew that I wanted to go into a healing profession. At age 15, I got a weekend hospice job caring for a terminally ill woman with cancer, then at age 19, I started working at St. Bernardine’s Hospital. First, I was just a nurse’s aide (CNA), then I graduated from CSUSB as a nurse (RN). Soon, I returned to Loma Linda University and graduated as a Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Master of Science.

Physics of Mantra Divinization
Published through the Shift Network. Every human is a manifestation of God. Each person has a source of divinity that emanates from within. Sound healing practices coupled with multi-faceted interdisciplinary sciences can reawaken this inner divinity. Mantras are capable of purifying the subtle and physical body as well as removing obstructions that blot out divine intelligence. |
For thousands of years, the Mahāmṛtyunjaya mantra has been chanted to create divine healing vibrations for physical, emotional and spiritual strength. This ancient powerful mantra is a verse from the sacred Rig Veda (RV 7.59.12) used to attract transcendence and grace. In Sanskrit, Mahāmṛtyunjaya is translated as “maha” meaning great, “mrityu” meaning death, and “jaya” meaning victory - or “the great conqueror of death”. Also referred to as the moksha mantra, this prayer is capable of illuminating one’s greater spiritual self, liberating people from fear, illness and reincarnation. FULL ARTICLE HERE

"After 30 years of studying science and practicing acute care medicine my life took a deep shift towards art, music and writing. January 2020, just before COVID spread to the US, I took a full sabbatical from my hospital career and immersed all my energy into writing, devotional music and spiritual art. I often tell people that we are all here to contribute our own unique expression and life mission. Creative education and spirituality are my top two inspirations, and the inspiration in overflowing into black and red inked images, songs, poetry and books." FULL ARTICLE HERE
"From the age of 4, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always the same, that I wanted to be a healer. During high school, I focused heavily on pre-med preparatory classes and landed my first job at age 16 caring for an elderly woman with terminal cancer. I loved making people feel better physically and emotionally. By age 24 I graduated from California State University of San Bernardino with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and worked in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Bernadine Medical Center. Soon after..."
